Photo Manager version 0.9.5.3 is out, and it comes with a couple new features! The most exciting addition, in my opinion, is the Group by Event feature. This will let you easily group pictures by event and move them into their own folder. Events are determined by the length of time between when one picture was taken and the next/previous. You specify a time span, and any groups of pictures that have no gaps larger than that span will be shown to you with the option of grouping some or all of them.

While my wife was testing it out tonight, she made some really awesome suggestions for ways to improve the UI and functionality, so expect to see some refining in future updates.

Other additions include a \”Check for Updates\” command in the Help menu (geared toward the portable version) and an improved transition between the Basic and Advanced modes. Previously, it required a restart of the application, which would cause problems if using the portable version, and you hadn’t unblocked the file.

In addition to planned updates for Photo Manager, IFFY, and EFF, I also have another application that I’ll be releasing soon. This new program is the first WPF app I’ve made (versus Windows Forms), so I’m pretty excited about it. I learned a lot while making it. :)

I think that’s about it for updates. Well, except for the fact that I’m posting from my brand new laptop that I got for Christmas! Thanks, honey! <3 Hopefully everyone had a good Christmas and will have a safe New Year’s!
